Seems to be a decent product. Design, materials, construction all seem OK. Works well, much as expected, although 4 stars apparently means "better than expected". This is a simple, basic item, accurately described: large plastic water barrel plus stand. The instructions for fitting the rain water catcher to the existing down pipe from the roof were slightly misprinted (misaligned with the diagram), and a bit confusing until I realised what had happened. I intended to buy from Argos - it's in their catalogue - but not in stock anywhere, no 'click & collect' available, no home delivery, no way to place an order. So I bought on eBay instead (a bit cheaper) with free 'click & collect' at Argos. So Argos did the work but didn't get the profit. Potty. Another store with a death-wish?

The water butt itself is of reasonable quality, however the stand supplied with this water butt is in my view not fit for purpose. The stand comes in three sections and clips together at the base. The slightest movement of the base, or water butt causes the bottom clips to part On the top of these three sections of the stand are holes positioned to receive straps which would hold the tops of the stand together and prevent movement and spread under load. These straps are not supplied with the stand and I was told that they are not supplied with Ward water butts. The slightest movement

Excellent quality. It also came with a stand and the tap and it's fittings, so apart from buying a water depth gauge which we wanted to add, this water butt was the perfect solution to our garden watering needs. It is very stable, even when empty, but when it's full, it is steady as a rock. We can thoroughly recommend this water butt to anyone. We would definitley recommend getting this 250ltr model, because the smaller ones will fill up so quickly in a medium shower of rain. This one does not take up much room at all. It is relatively slim.

The container is well made but the stand is a nightmare to keep together long enough to place the container on to it. Duct tape came to my rescue, My other concern was that as the container has a smaller surface area on such a small stand whether the stand would take the weight of a full container. After heavy rain the container is now full and the stand is standing ( forgive the pun) up to the weight....so far. An added feature is the click on spout on the water tap to attach a hose pipe.

arrived very quickly, well within the designated time scale. Small amount of assembly required, but easy even for me, and I am a 55 plus woman. Even the attachment to the downpipes was simple and I even sprayed it white tom match the downpipes. It looks lovely and works extremely well.
